Having first made his mark as a songwriter and guitarist for Los Angeles’ Allah-LasPedrum Siadatian has etched out a place of his own with his solo work as PAINT. After an eponymous debut in 2018, PAINT has now returned with the ambitious Spiritual Vegas – due July 10, 2020.

On Spiritual Vegas, Siadatian’s singular touch is unmistakable. Here we find an emboldened artist coloring outside the lines, unleashing an opus both idiosyncratic and focused – cohesion through diversity. The first single from the album is “Ta Fardah.”

“The song is an ode to 70s/80s Iranian melodrama, with a video depicting a man falling in love with a TSA agent,” Pedrum explains. “Quarantine resulted in a homemade metal detector and security screening room”.

Pre-order ‘Spiritual Vegas’ now to immediately receive 2 bonus tracks “A Short While” + “Ta Fardah (Instrumental)”

Levitation Austin artist spotlight: Allah-Las

allah-las

Los Angeles psych-rockers Allah-Las will be performing at Levitation Austin on May 1st.  They have a neat mix of surf, psych, and 1960s garage rock that I’m guessing comes from the fact that three of them met while working at Amoeba Records where they had ample opportunity to talk music and dig up vintage gems from the era.  

Keep your mind open.
